[Geocoding] IP-block amsterdam nominatim-server

Hi everyone,

I had a script running on my website to let people know my last known
location while being on a roadtrip with my bike over the last four weeks.
Every visitor fired a new request to do a reverse lookup. So I got a
IP-ban from the amsterdam nominatim-server which seems fair enough since
I had quite a bit of visitors following my whereabouts.

This morning I've been adding a cache of my last known location.
Reverse queries on nominatim are now reduced to (at most) 6 times an hour.

My question is: is there any way to get this IP-ban revoked?

TIA and cheers,

Marko
